Australian Privacy Principles Compliance

DaoBook is committed to complying with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This statement outlines how we meet our obligations under each of the 13 APPs.

APP 1: Open and transparent management of personal information

We maintain a clear and up-to-date privacy policy that is easily accessible from our website. This policy outlines our personal information handling practices, including the types of information we collect, how we use it, and how individuals can access or correct their information.

APP 2: Anonymity and pseudonymity

Where practicable and lawful, we offer individuals the option of not identifying themselves or using a pseudonym. However, due to the nature of healthcare services, this is often not practicable for core functions of our platform.

APP 3: Collection of solicited personal information

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities. We obtain sensitive health information with explicit consent and only when necessary for providing our healthcare management services.

APP 4: Dealing with unsolicited personal information

If we receive unsolicited personal information, we determine whether we could have collected it under APP 3. If not, we securely destroy or de-identify the information if lawful and reasonable to do so.

APP 5: Notification of the collection of personal information

We notify individuals about the collection of their personal information, including who we are, the purposes of collection, and other parties to whom the information may be disclosed. This is done through our privacy policy and at the point of collection.

APP 6: Use or disclosure of personal information

We only use or disclose personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, or for a related secondary purpose where the individual would reasonably expect this, or where consent has been obtained or where required by law.

APP 7: Direct marketing

We only use personal information for direct marketing where we have obtained consent, or where the individual would reasonably expect it and we provide a simple opt-out mechanism.

APP 8: Cross-border disclosure of personal information

Before disclosing personal information to overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient does not breach the APPs in relation to the information.

APP 9: Adoption, use or disclosure of government related identifiers

We do not adopt, use or disclose government related identifiers unless permitted by law.

APP 10: Quality of personal information

We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, use, or disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant.

APP 11: Security of personal information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. We destroy or de-identify personal information when it is no longer needed.

APP 12: Access to personal information

We provide individuals with access to their personal information upon request, except where the law allows us to refuse access. We respond to access requests within a reasonable period and provide the information in the manner requested if reasonable and practicable.

APP 13: Correction of personal information

We take reasonable steps to correct personal information to ensure it is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant, and not misleading. We also notify other entities of corrections where we have previously disclosed the information to those entities.
